Description

A sealed vial that, upon impact, explodes with great force.

Effects

This explosive bomb causes varying amounts of damage. Basically it's as if everyone within the burst is hit by a missile. The damage value and penetration of each missile varies with potion quality and distance. The highest penetration value applies to the specific target actually hit by the potion. The second (middle) value applies to all targets within 1/4 of the burst area (virtually touching the target), while the third (lowest) penetration applies to all targets beyond that but still within the burst area.
An additional 1/4th of the damage taken (rounded down) is applied against the target's armor, reducing its quality by that amount. Since only penetration varies with distance, virtually everyone in the burst area loses some armor quality.
